1:18th P-47 The Blond Angel

Hey guys...you gotta read this one very cool story I just happened to stumble onto while cruising the net. Sometimes those models that we all love to collect have a serendipitous purpose, then finds it way to touch folks in the most unexpected way as demonstrated from this link: http://www.memorial.ecasd.k12.wi.us/...eldDonaldD.htm Read on!


Don Litchfield, 80, received this model of a P-47D Thunderbolt from a stranger last December. The model is identical to the plane Litchfield's late brother, Tom, flew in World War II.
